I installed BOINC on my Macbook Pro, and it's working fine for SETI@Home. I then installed it on my PC desktop running Vista 32-bit Home Premium and, though I've checked all my preferences so that it should work, it just says "Error: No work available to process". It's still working on my Macbook, but not on my PC. Any help would be appreciated.

There is a problem with one of the workunit storage servers, so no new work is being generated currently. What happened is your Macbook got lucky and snagged a workunit that just timed out on somebody elses machine and became available.

Currently we are all running low on work due to the server problem.

So at least I'm not doing anything wrong. Thanks a bunch.
